A Seedling

On some days I don’t write any, On others I write plenty. It depends on my day, I have to process it and put it away. This writer needs to write all the time, I don’t know if it’s a flaw or by design. I write here and I write there, When the words come to me, it doesn’t matter where. I have to write to get them out, And like a seedling, a poem sprouts.

Hi Catherine. I enjoy reading your rhyming couplets. Keep writing all the time. It is meant by design. Best wishes. Tony

Thank you Tony, I think all poets are happiest when they are writing.

That's pretty much the process. And sometimes those "sprouts" send out shoots and other poem "seedlings" hatch.

I feel like it is that way for all poets. I am new to writing poetry and I find it does help to pit emotions away.
